Getting hurt Quote by Joan Johnston
““Stay put,” he said. “I don’t want you setting off any explosives that’ll get us both killed.” “Let me go with you.” “I don’t want you getting hurt, Red.” There was something about the sound of his voice that gave her pause. “Don’t tell me you care.” He ruffled her hair as though she were four instead of twenty-five. “All right, I won’t. Just stay put.””
